GLOBAL DYNAMICS OF SOCIAL POLICY NETWORKS AND...

This open access book analyses the global diffusion of social policy as a process driven by
multiplex ties between countries in global social networks. The contributions analyze links
between countries via global trade  colonial history  similarity in culture  and spatial
proximity. Networks are viewed as the structural backbone of the diffusion process  and
diffusion is anlaysed via several subfields of social policy  in order to interrogate which
network dimensions drive this process. The focus is on a global perspective of social policy
diffusion via networks  and it is the first book to explicitly follow this macro-quantitative
perspective on diffusion at a global scale whilst also comparing different networks. The
collection tests the network structures in terms of their relevance to the diffusion process in
different subfields of social policy such as old age and survivor pensions  labor and labor
markets  health and long-term care  education and training  and family and gender policy. The
book will therefore be invaluable to students and researchers of global social policy 
sociology  political science  international relations  organization theory and economics.
